Priority 5 – The housing transformation programme

• On the 18th March 2014, Cabinet approved housing

improvement and unification proposals

• On 15th July 2014, Housing unification and Improvement

Programme approved by Cabinet

• Now that Unification has been achieved, the Housing

Strategy nearly completed and the Corporate Plan has been developed, a review of the areas of work required has been undertaken, and in discussion with key individuals, a revised housing transformation programme scope is proposed.

Priority 5 – The housing transformation programme: revised scope

• Wave 1 – Strategic housing review: A review of the Council’s strategic Housing Services

remaining within the Council should be undertaken.

• Wave 2 - Housing Sub-Strategies – the strategy itself is in hand. A review of sub-strategies,

policies etc has been undertaken to establish which are required to support the delivery of the housing strategy, and where and how the delivery of these can be done. The priority from this is the homelessness strategy which is in development.

• Wave 3 - The housing innovation and transformation programme – this part of the programme

is ‘owned’ and delivered fully by HfH with light touch overview and challenge through the Housing Commissioner and (at least initially) the Housing Transformation Programme Manager, to the Priority 5 board.

• Wave 4 - Priority 4 and 5 – the planning, setting up and initial supporting of the boards including

setting the delivery plans etc sits within this programme in support of the priority owners.

• Wave 5 – Future Housing Delivery Model – is ongoing and will continue to need a degree of

support but also ownership and visibility at the highest level.
